2012 Mikochi Defence Bill

The 2012 Mikochi Defence Bill, enacted by the National Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Mikochi in 2012, was a landmark legislative act aimed at significantly enhancing the country's defence capabilities over a twelve-year period. The bill sought to increase defence spending from 1.2% to 3% of the GDP, fostering national security and economic growth through domestic production and job creation.

Implementation and Achievements (2012-2024)

The implementation of the Defence Bill was divided into two phases: the initial six years focused on immediate upgrades and expansions, while the subsequent six years aimed to achieve long-term strategic goals. By 2024, the bill had led to several substantial developments in Mikochi's defence infrastructure and capabilities.

One of the most notable achievements was the modernization of the Shiokaze Shipyard, which was transformed into a state-of-the-art facility capable of producing advanced naval vessels, including guided missile destroyers. The shipyard's overhaul included reducing the building bays from five to three larger bays, upgrading equipment, and establishing a new office for research and development. This modernization was completed within the first phase and had a significant impact on Mikochi's naval production capabilities.

The Mikochi Ground Defence Force (MGDF) saw a substantial increase in size, with the addition of new armored units and four new infantry battalions. Recruitment and training infrastructure was significantly enhanced, including the construction of a new academy in Kagayaki and improvements to recreational facilities on all bases. The bill also mandated increased pay and benefits for MGDF personnel, which helped attract and retain skilled individuals, contributing to a more robust and capable ground force.

The Mikochi Coastal Defence Force (MCDF) tripled the size of its escort fleet, completing the construction of two guided missile destroyers at the refurbished Shiokaze Shipyard and three destroyers at the Umikyo Shipyard by the end of the twelve-year period. Investments in advanced maritime defence technology, including radar, sonar, and missile systems, further strengthened the MCDF's capabilities.

The Mikochi Air Guard (MAG) also benefited from the Defence Bill, with funding allocated for the procurement of new interceptor fighters and the development of ground-to-air missile launchers. Improvements to Mikochi's air defence network and technology were significant, enhancing the country's aerial defence capabilities.

Accountability and Public Engagement

Throughout the implementation period, the Defence Bill ensured transparency and accountability through rigorous performance metrics, regular audits, and public communication strategies. An oversight committee composed of junior house parliament members monitored the implementation, and annual progress reports were submitted to the National Assembly. Public communication efforts included updates through social media, news outlets, and official government releases every six months, maintaining public awareness and support for the initiatives.

Economic and Strategic Impact

The Defence Bill had a profound impact on Mikochi's economy by promoting domestic production and creating jobs. Collaborations with the Fujimoto Group for vehicle and small arms production, and partnerships with Kagayaki Research Institute, Umikyo Technical College, and Shiokaze University for research and recruitment, drove innovation and industrial growth. The establishment of worker training programs, including apprenticeships providing high school diplomas and university degrees, further contributed to a skilled workforce.

Overall, the Defence Bill of 2012 successfully enhanced Mikochi's defence infrastructure, promoted economic growth, and ensured long-term national security. By 2024, Mikochi had a more capable and modernized military force, a robust defence industry, and stronger strategic defence capabilities, reflecting the bill's comprehensive and forward-thinking approach.

Mikochi Coastal Defence Force

Mikochi's EEZ

The Mikochi Coastal Defence Force (Mikochinese: , Aromaji: ), abbreviated MCDF or CDF (海自, Kaiji), also simploy known as the Mikochinese Navy, is the maritime warfare branch of the Mikochi Defence Force, tasked with ensuring Mikochi's maritime safety and security.

The MCDF has seven identified tasks that it aims to perform:

• Search and Rescue
• Maritime Security
• Environmental Protection
• Maritime Traffic Management
• Scientific Research
• Maritime Law Enforcement
• Disaster Response & Humanitarian Aid

The MCDF was formed following the dissolution of the Grand Fleet and Revolutionary Fleet in 1984 after the signing of the ratification of the Mikochi People's Constitution. The MCDF has a fleet of XXX ships, XXX aircraft and XX,XXX personnel. As a result of increased funding following the controversial Defence Bill passed in 2012, the capabilities of the MCDF have grown exponentially, with many new ships being layed down in the last decade, and several more to be laid down in the next 5 years.

Mission in the Lotus Sea

The MCDF is known in particular for it's anti-piracy operations in the Lotus Sea, and by extension, the Baha del Trebol, Manamana Bay and Aurelian Shield. Piracy in the area has grown steadily over the last two decades, as traffic passing through the canal into the Lotus Sea has grown with the increase in global trade.

Defence of Aurelia

Placeholder for a nice long paragraph about how Mikochi's navy probably would have probably played a support role during the Anglian war, but I'll need to figure the details out. I'm waffling so that it looks like something is actually written here, but I probably can't keep this up for too much longer.
